The 'Best Cross-Code XIII' that left Ben Te'o annoyed over Danny Cipriani

The absence of all forms of rugby at the moment on account of the Covid-19 pandemic has forced people to become creative and Fox League have recently compiled their ‘Best Cross-Code XIII’. Their nominated team has an unsurprising blend of pace, power and guile from some of the best players union has to offer currently.

However, dual-code international Ben Te’o feels his ex-England team-mate Danny Cipriani is a glaring omission from the selection. The ex-Samoa rugby league international and England union representative said that he had played with or against every member of this fantasy team but had “never seen a ball player like (Cipriani)”. 

Fox League’s selection is quite a formidable team and it already has a number of players discussing it on social media. But Te’o is a player who has a lot of experience in both codes and would know what union players would surely be successful in league.

    This is high praise from Te’o to Cipriani who is currently the Rugby Players’ Association player of the year and switching to league is something that has come close to being a reality in the past as the 32-year-old Gloucester fly-half toyed with the prospect of moving to the NRL throughout his career.

    Te’o is currently plying his trade with the Sunwolves in Japan after leaving Worcester Warriors last summer and having his England career effectively terminated after failing to make Eddie Jones’ World Cup squad. After a brief stint with Toulon, the centre was now playing in Super Rugby until the season was suspended in mid-March due to the virus outbreak.

    Having won an NRL title with the South Sydney Rabbitohs 2014 in addition to representing Queensland in the State of Origin before joining Leinster in 2015, Te’o has played with some of the best players ever in either code, which is all the more flattering for Cipriani.

    Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

    My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
